The Institute for Manufactured Futures

The fate of the world depends on the stories we tell, and how well we tell them. The Institute for Manufactured Futures is a storytelling enterprise dedicated to predicting the future. This is not a practice of reading oracles, nor manifesting a future through sheer willpower - we leave that kind of future-telling to other professions. Specifically, the Institute for Manufactured Futures creates roadmaps for possible futures that we may build and inhabit. Through collaborative storytelling processes, the Institute crafts these roadmaps, evolving and modeling a practice to re-write our collective futures, determining pathways so that we can gain a sense on how to navigate through - or around - them.
